Johnson is expected to start against Tampa Bay on Sunday. (SportsBuff.com)

Hanson is a decent No. 1 option at kicker for Week 12 against Tampa Bay. (SportsBuff.com)

Johnson is the lone bright spot for the woeful Lions and is a must-start in all formats. (SportsBuff.com)

Culpepper is one a horrible team and he is new to the system, so search for any other QB. (SportsBuff.com)

Look for Cooley to have a decent game in Week 12 against Seattle this week. (SportsBuff.com)

Moss is still a must-start in all fantasy formats. (SportsBuff.com)

Monitor his health this week to see if he has returned to practice. He is a must-start when healthy and Washington must win to keep pace in their division. (SportsBuff.com)

Here's one thing you can say about Matt Millen - he kept trying until he got it right. Johnson was the fourth wide receiver he selected in the first round and he is a stud. Now, if the Lions could field a competent team around him. (SportsBuff.com)

With the Lions brass finally coming to their senses and giving the young fella the ball, Smith is producing. He has 208 yards over the last two weeks and has scored five times this season. (SportsBuff.com)

It's hard to believe that it was just five years ago that Culpepper threw for 39 TD's with the Vikings. He's been with four teams since then and is simply not a very effective QB. (SportsBuff.com)

With this news, Portis is a very risky start this week and his owners' should begin to look for other starting options right away. LaDell Betts should start against the Cowboys. (SportsBuff.com)

Alexander is a risky play for Week 11 but keep your eye on him should he actually see some game time action on Sunday. (SportsBuff.com)

Betts has always been a reliable back-up to Portis and looks to get his first start of the season in Week 11 against Dallas. He has always been a decent receiver out of the backfield and is a stable play if you need to start him. (SportsBuff.com)

Look for Portis to rest his ailing knee in Week 11 and to try to make it back into the line-up in Week 12. You might want to monitor his progress right up until game time to make sure he is not playing. (SportsBuff.com)

Betts could very well start on Sunday night, as Portis missed practice today with his own knee injury. Betts would be a very risky fantasy play still, though, after missing so much time. (SportsBuff.com)

Unless something significantly changes for the better on Friday or Saturday, fantasy owners will have to set their lineups without the league's second-leading rusher. (SportsBuff.com)

Moss has had hamstring issues all season but seems to have put the issues behind him for now. Consider Moss a must-start against Dallas this Sunday. (SportsBuff.com)

Culpepper completed only five out of ten passes for 104 yards and one interception against Jacksonville last Sunday. Culpepper does not have a good matchup and should not be started against the Panthers. (SportsBuff.com)

Unfortunately for us, game time this week is Sunday night. Fantasy owners who have to set their lineups before the Thursday night game probably can't trust Portis to go, if they have another viable candidate. The rest can look for a signs before the 1 p.m. kickoffs on Sunday but might still be left to guess on his playing status. (SportsBuff.com)

Portis is having trouble straightening his leg which is not good news at all. Keep your eye on the situation as the week progresses to see if the injury improves in time for Week 11. (SportsBuff.com)

Look for Smith to get the bulk of the carries for the rest of the season as the Lions try to build towards next season. (SportsBuff.com)

Look for Johnson to continue to rack up points but do not be surprised if opposing teams start triple-teaming him. (SportsBuff.com)

Culpepper is likely to find himself back in the unemployment line sooner than later. The only thing that could make Culpepper a decent play is if he is a quick study with the playbook in Detroit. (SportsBuff.com)

Johnson is proof that you can have a terrible QB and still be a productive receiver. He is a clear building block for the Lions and after drafting four receivers in the first round in the last decade, it looks like they finally got it right. (SportsBuff.com)

It's about time that the Lions gave Smith the rock consistently. He has five TD's on the season and seeing as the Lions have already been mathematically eliminated from the Playoffs (OK, well, maybe not mathematically), they should see what their young players can do. (SportsBuff.com)

At this point, the Lions should be encouraged by any player - other than Calvin Johnson - putting up numbers. Stanton, a rookie from Michigan State, may get an opportunity to play more in the near future. (SportsBuff.com)

Culpepper was benched in the fourth quarter when the game was out of hand. Because Drew Stanton showed something (anything!) in the fourth quarter, he may get the start next week against the Panthers. (SportsBuff.com)

Such a situation at quarterback could finally drive the team to give Smith a real workload in the running game. He's a decent starting option against a disappointing Jaguars defense that let Cedric Benson go for 100 yards last week. Smith has scored in three of the past five games. (SportsBuff.com)

It's silly that Marinelli thinks his team will gain some advantage by keeping the Jags guessing about whether they'll have to defend against Daunte Culpepper or Drew Stanton. If the team really doesn't know yet who will start, there'd be no harm in saying that. As for Orlovsky, we might find out later in the week if he'll be done for the year. (SportsBuff.com)

Furrey will also benefit from the addition of Culpepper. He has always had the ability to run good routes and keep the chains moving. (SportsBuff.com)

Johnson could benefit greatly from the addition of Culpepper to the Lions offense. (SportsBuff.com)

A Culpepper to Calvin Johnson hook-up is what everyone in Detroit is expecting. Remember, this is a winless team playing a tough Jacksonville pass defense so be cautious if you consider starting him in Week 10. (SportsBuff.com)

Look for Portis to try and get healthy in the bye week. When the redskins play, he must be in your line-up. (SportsBuff.com)

Keep an eye on Moss during the bye week to monitor his progress. If he gets healthy, he is a must start in all fantasy formats.

The overall health of Santana Moss will have much to do with the overall fantasy value of Jason Campbell. (SportsBuff.com)

We'll see what's true as the weekend approaches. At the very least, though, it appears that we can forget about Orlovsky as a potential sleeper against a bad Jacksonville defense. (SportsBuff.com)

I am not saying that you should run out and spend all of your waiver wire funds on McDonald, but he does have 11 catches for 133 yards and a TD in the last two games. You could do worse. (SportsBuff.com)

It's pretty clear that Johnson can perform with even the worst QB. Just imagine if he had a decent QB tossing the ball to him... He has six TD's on the season with 29 catches for 588 yards (20.3 ypc). (SportsBuff.com)

The 14 carries represent Smith's high since Week 1 and he may finally be wresting the job away from Rudy Johnson. Smith has four TD's this season and 22 receptions. (SportsBuff.com)

As long as Calvin Johnson is on the field, Orlovsky has minimal value. I wouldn't start him - ever, but there are some leagues - maybe those that start three QB's (which I have never heard of) in which he could have value. (SportsBuff.com)

Expect him to play. Despite the tough matchup, it doesn't seem like a great idea to sit him. (SportsBuff.com)
